Lucky in Love

Lucky in Love

Kasie West

Lucky in Love, by Kasie West, is sweet, emotional, and a fun book to read. Maddie, the main character, is not impulsive. She’s all about hard work and planning ahead. But one night, on a whim, she buys a lottery ticket. And then, to her astonishment, she wins!

In a flash, Maddie’s life is unrecognizable. No more stressing about college scholarships. Being in the spotlight at school is fun…until rumors start flying, and random people ask her for loans. Now Maddie isn’t sure who she can trust. Except for Seth Nguyen, her funny, charming coworker at the local zoo. Seth doesn’t seem aware of Maddie’s big news. And, for some reason, she doesn’t want to tell him. But what will happen if he learns her secret? Follow Maddie as she finds out what to do with her lottery win, and how should she tell her best friend, Seth?

Lucky In Love is a perfect read for readers who are ‘‘reluctant.’’ The story is so fast-paced, you’ll feel compelled to read them in one sitting. The only thing that will stop you is your innate need to sleep. Since Maddie is a little naïve, she’s manipulated into spending her money – well, giving her money away, basically – quite a few times. While it is, at times, frustrating, it helps Maddie grow into someone more responsible and aware of how the world works. Thirty million dollars is a lot, lot, lot of money. I predicted most of what happens in this novel, so I wouldn’t say you’ll be blown away by anything, really, but you will be entertained for sure. I liked this book but didn't love it. Unfortunately, the romance and characters seemed a little flat to me. Nonetheless, this novel is still a great read for anybody who wants to read something in a sitting or two.
